Arsenal are yet to make a real splash in this summer transfer window.
The Gunners have done some business, Kepa Arrizabalaga has arrived from Chelsea, while Martin Zubimendi is seemingly set to sign.
On top of that, Arsenal will sign a striker this summer, while Cristhian Mosquera is expected to sign for the Gunners too.
However, perhaps the most intriguing story surrounding Arsenal in recent times is regarding Eberechi Eze.
Arsenal are big fans of Eze, and according to Ben Jacobs, speaking on the Highbury Squad YouTube channel, the player is very much keen on joining Arsenal too.

Eberechi Eze would happily join Arsenal
According to Jacobs, personal terms would not be a problem if Arsenal were to agree a deal with Crystal Palace to sign Eberechi Eze.
Eze named Arsenal as his dream club in recent years when reminiscing about his release as a teenager, and now, he could be set to get that move.
The journalist says that Eze wants to join Arsenal, and a bid is set to be submitted in the next two weeks.
“I wouldn’t rule out Crystal Palace trying to keep him, but I can tell you that the interest became concrete around 10 days ago,” Jacobs said.
“Arsenal are serious about Eberechi Eze and in that meeting were not just recruitment people but senior football people pitching to Eze’s camp.
“I’m expecting a bid, I’m expecting that bid to be below the release clause and I’m expecting that bid to be within the next two weeks or so.
“There’s absolutely no doubt that if a club-to-club agreement is reached Eze wants Arsenal. It’s also worth noting that Tottenham have never seriously been in this race.
“If Arsenal do choose to place that bid, which is my expectation, I’m not expecting personal terms with the player to be a problem.”
Arsenal’s attacking midfield options analysed
Eze would be a very exciting signing for Arsenal, but there is a question to be asked about where he would fit into this Arsenal squad.
Indeed, Mikel Arteta has no shortage of options in the attacking midfield role, and some difficult decisions would have to be made here.

Fabio Vieira
Ethan Nwaneri
Fabio Vieira is expected to leave Arsenal, so that’s one less body in this position, but Ethan Nwaneri’s position is a bit more up in the air.
Arsenal could lose Ethan Nwaneri if they’re not careful, and bringing in Eze could only accelerate that situation.
Eze is a ‘world class’ player, but there’s a question to be raised about whether or not Arsenal truly need the Palace star at this point.
